Hello and welcome to my blog on this cold, rainy day. A perfect kind of Monday to get creative with some new wintry die cuts to make a card for the sketch at The Paper Players. For winter and Christmas I seem to have acquired three new packs of DSP so I set out to use some for a snowy scene.
I love to make snow men IRL but rarely have the chance since I'm living in SC. Making a die cut snowman brings fond memories of childhood play. Aren't all snow men just a little bit wonky? This one sure is.
The new-to-me supplies are the papers from Doodlebug Design 6x6 Snow Much Fun pack; Snowcapped Tree Die from Waffle Flower, and Festive Snow Globe Dies from Concord & 9th. The sentiment is from a favorite from PB - the Jolly Snippets set.
Simple embellishment details come from Glossy accents added to the carrot and the hat, an iridescent white cord bow, and Stickles added to the snowflakes.
Here's the lovely sketch providing inspiration by the Paper Players.
Also adding this to NBUS and the Christmas Kickstart Challenge.
Thanks so much for coming by, hope it's been a great day for you!
Be yourself
Have delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!
ETA: what makes this snowman wonky? Well, the googly eyes for one thing. Secondly, the die doesn't include arms for this guy! So that he fits in the snow globe, I'm guessing.

Oh my gosh, Cindy! Who doesn't love a wonky snowman! I love the adorable little scene you have created with these awesome die cut trees. Great paper choices! The neutral background paper lets the purple patterns "pop". Thank you for playing with The Paper Players this week!
I like your non-traditional colors, Cindy! He might be a little wonky, but he's a cutie!
Wonky or not, your sweet little snowman is adorable Cindi! Thanks for playing along with my sketch challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
You've taken that sketch and made just the sweetest scene with it! Wonky snowmen are the best and this one sure is a cutie! Love those trees and, oh, my gosh, the paper looks like such a fun and pretty collection! I do love me some Doodlebug! Just adorable, Cindy!
